Lil Nas X Responds After Accusation of ‘Mocking Christ’ in Music Video

Openly gay rapper 🎤Lil Nas X responded to the backlash he received for “mocking” Jesus Christ in his new music video filled with biblical imagery.

On Monday, 🎤Lil Nas X, 24, addressed the controversy over his newly released music video for his single “J Christ” on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“I wanted to not necessarily apologize, but I wanted to explain where my head at and where it’s been for like the last week. So first of all, when I did the artwork, I knew there would be some upset people or whatnot simply cause religion is a very sensitive topic for a lot of people. But I also didn’t mean to mock,” the rapper began.

Additionally, 🎤Lil Nas X explained the intentions behind creating the video “wasn’t like a ‘f***k you to you people. F***k you to the Christians.'”

“It was not that. It was literally me saying, ‘Oh, I’m back. I’m back like Jesus.’ Like that was the whole thing,” he continued.

He went on:

“I’m not the first person to dress up as Jesus. I’m not the first rapper. I’m not the first artist, and I won’t be the last. And I know, given my history with the “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” video
